    You'll need an impact/hammer drill (should be able to rent one) and a concrete bit to drill holes in the concrete. Then you get anchor bolts that you slide down into the hole, then tighten an internal rod with a wrench to wedge them in place (that probably sounds confusing, but it makes sense when you see the bolts.)

    You may need to rig up some sort of brackets on your own. You could also just drill through the bottom frame; if you do that you should add some large washers to prevent the bolts from pulling through the frame.

    You need a hammer drill and some tapcons(home depot). These anchors screw in.
